18And the second came, saying, Thy pound, Lord, hath made five pounds.
19And he said unto him also, Be thou also over five cities.
20And another came, saying, Lord, behold, [here is] thy pound, which I kept laid up in a napkin:
21for I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that which thou layedst not down, and reapest that which thou didst not sow.
22He saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up that which I laid not down, and reaping that which I did not sow;
23then wherefore gavest thou not my money into the bank, and I at my coming should have required it with interest?
24And he said unto them that stood by, Take away from him the pound, and give it unto him that hath the ten pounds.
